«Община королевства» в конце XIII века: к вопросу о становлении парламента в средневековой Шотландии

Abstract

The article is dedicated to consideration of the Scottish parliamentary statutes and circumstances surrounding their enacting from the death of Alexander III of Scotland to the end of the initial period of the First War of Scottish Independence. Reference to the issue on the emergence of the parliament in Scotland required a distinct coverage of the history of the colloquium in 1235– 1286. The evaluation of class assembly role in the prominent political events of that time as well as perspectives of historians on the beginning of the history of the Scottish parliament are given in the paper. The author comes to the conclusion that despite the fact that the mention of the parliament could be traced to 1235, the late XIII century became a decisive stage of its development.
